 Posted: Mon Oct 04, 2010 10:06 pm Post subject: (newbie) IR apps, which one? |
 |
|
I have IR usb (so, this is usb, but it is infra-red receiver (and hopefully transmiter))
I got IR usb to get pictures from my phone (no bluetooth, just IR)
If I understand correctly I need irda, not lirc
(which is for remote controlling, like TV, if I understood correctly)
On that matter, what is best IR app on gentoo?
If you have some for me, than problem below is obsolete, kheh...
Anyway, I went with irda, I configured kernel, copied it to /boot restart.
At this point I did this:
| Code: | | emerge -a irda-utils |
which had to emerge 2 apps. OK.
But on actual idra emerging, I got error,
looked ta it and it requires some file in non existing folder.
So I searched net, and found this:
https://bugs.gentoo.org/317539
At the end is a solution, of a kind.
I opened file /usr/src/linux/Makefile
but I could not find the line that is supposed to be replaced...
I would appreciate help on this, since I am newbie,
or if you could suggest some simple/good application for IF, preferably with gui.
Thank you.

The Makefile you need to patch is located in the irda distribution, so you cannot install it with emerge - you need to manually compile and install it while this bug exists. Once you have unpacked the irda files and run ./configure, look in the "tekram" folder and edit the Makefile in there according to the bug. Then you can 'make' and 'make install'.
If this works please add a comment to the bug so that it's obvious it's still current! |
